I have a 5102WMLI with ATI xpress 1200. Did you install any kind of

have a stock keyboard definition, and that works for me.

Well I have the stock keyboard settings, unless YaST was being sneaky during
the installation and installed them without letting me know then no. I just
checked and I have none of the Acer kernel modules installed for anything.

FYI: I also have a 5102, but with ATI 200. I had three lock ups with my
keyboard in a months. Log out and in (with mouse of course) solved he
prolem for me. So same problem sometimes, but easy to solve.


Well nice to know that a log out and in fixed the problem, that would be
faster than restarting the system.

I was having spasmodic lockups on the system as well. It turned out
to be a file system problem on the partition that holds /home.

I am using the default SUSE settings for ext3 on my filesystem, and have not
ran into any system wide lockup, so I'm sure it is not that.
